The Kyneton community is in a very festive mood.

The town’s annual Daffodil and Arts Festival will start on Thursday, August 31 and run until September 10.

The festival will feature one-act plays, ferret racing, buskers, food and wine, live performances and literary events.

To celebrate spring’s arrival, the 124-year-old Kyneton Horticultural Society will host its annual spring flower show.

Society president Nicholas Scott said the show was one of the longest standing and largest flower shows in regional Victoria.

He said this year’s show will be one to remember.

“We’ve got a really good committee putting it together,” Mr Scott said.

The 2017 Kyneton Spring Flower Show will run on Saturday, September 2, from 1-5pm, and on Sunday, September 3, from 10am-4.30pm, in Watts Pavilion at Kyneton showgrounds on Mollison Street.

The show will feature daffodils, cut flowers and shrubs, pot plants, cacti, succulents, floral art and a children’s creative section.

To lodge an entry in the show, phone 0407 844 220 by Thursday, August 31.
